Chapter 44 Investigator Liam??
"Oh. so what about the debt that he talked about. you definitely can\'t tell me that there was no trade between you guys, either services they rendered or goods they sold. c\'mon speak up, tell me everything you know and I might consider sparing your life." Liam leaned against the wall and asked another question.
The middle-aged man provided them with answers to almost all the questions he asked, earlier he was the one who pleaded to be soared because of his pregnant wife and little daughters so he gave truthful answers to every questions.
His hands and legs was tied except his mouth.
On the ground, close to him was ponytail who is still unconscious but his hands and leg was tied as well.
"I don\'t know about what my master bought from them, I\'m guessing it could be the coordinate of the rain monarch legacy. yes, I\'m sure it\'s about that, my master is a cultivator with water attribute who has eyes on the rain monarch legacy."
"The legacy of the rain monarch, do such a thing even exist?" He thought to himself with his hands on his chin.
He have red a lot of books, most of them about legends and gods but he have never heard of anything concerning rain monarch.
\'Well, it\'s not like I can actually do anything about that, so why waste my time thinking about it?\' He thought to himself and sighed, then he turned his gaze to ponytail.
"I don\'t know what to do with you for now? you\'ll get the privilege to live for few hours before I decide what to do." He walked pass the middle-aged man with a cold smile on his face.
For now, there was really nothing he was going to do.
He can kill him or let him leave, but for now, he have not decided what he was going to do with the current matter.
Well, everything might add up to something else sooner or later and he will need the help of the middle-aged man.
Of course, there\'s still one more dude he wants to investigate -- Ponytail.
Thump~
He moved his feet and kicked the stomach of ponytail causing the dude that was presently unconscious to wake up with wide eyes carrying the pain that he felt.
"Oh shit, the house is collapsing... wait, where am I?"
"Hell." Liam responded with a bright smile.
Ponytail started regaining his memories and what happened at the mansion began to play in his head, after realising that he was in trouble his gaze turned fearful and he started shivering from where he was.
"Scared, huh, I never thought a member of the prestigious Yellow horn black wing group will be so scared, very well, I have no time to waste, answer my questions as truthful as you can and I might consider sparing you."
"Ah, see you really have to spare me, I really don\'t want to have a one time pleasure in my whole life....Wahhh" Ponytail started wailing like a three year old whose candy has been trampled upon by an evil Senior.
Seeing this, Liam smirked.
\'I was very lucky to choose this two as the hostage, one of them has a family he wants to protect and the other have lust he wants to satisfy.\'
Thirty minutes later, Liam kept bringing up different questions all of them related to the yellow horn black wing group and ponytail provided the answers while sobbing.
"I\'m under Hundred, and this village is our territory but some other brothers have been invading our territory and doing business with one of our clients, the owner of the mansion you took me from and they sold one of our group\'s top secrets to them."
"Is it connected to the legacy of the rain Monarch?"
"Huh, wait. who the heck are you? if you are one of us then make it clear that you are"
"Hehe, you think I\'m really one of you guys?"
"Definitely, if not, then how did you know...unless.." Ponytail frowned and tilted his head to the direction of the middle aged man who trembled at his gaze; "This bastard really told you about it! you traitor! how dare you?"
"Wait, you called me a traitor. then what are you? a saint? I\'m in on the verge of dying or gaining my freedom. the only person I fear now is senior!"
"You!" Ponytail wanted to curse more but then a stinging pain came from his cheek and his eyes rolled as his head was forcefully hit on the wall.
"Cough* cough*" Ponytail began to cough out blood, his face pale and his body trembling from pain.
The person who caused him so much pain was no other than Liam who had a cold smile hidden behind the mask.
\'Damn! the other could not help himself after seeing what Liam has done to Ponytail.
Well, he have not seen Liam killing anyone.
The time Liam killed, he was already half dead, basically everything around him then and everything happening was unknown to him.
Because of that, he thought in his heart with cool words he\'ll be able to make Liam to free him, however seeing him using brute force depleted his hope.
"You have no respect for the one standing in front of you, don\'t you?" As he said this, he waved his right hand and slapped the other party very hard on the cheek.
Ponytail flinched but there was nothing he could really do.
After showing them what he could do, Liam began asking them questions over again and was able to get the answer that it was looking for which concerns the mission that that brought him here.
"Lately, there has been rumors and one of them even claimed that he saw the insignia of your group on the robes of the dudes who kidnapped his family members, Those dudes are you guys, right."
He was expecting a yes but ponytail did otherwise and shook his head forcefully.
"My brothers and I are not the ones, the real criminals are the trespassers."
He was satisfied with their answers but decided that he will let them live but not leave the room so he took out one spell papers and hit it on the floor causing it to turn into misty energy that immediately sent Ponytail and the other guy to sleep.
\'The effect will last for 24 hours on Ponytail and 36 hours on the other, before, before they get up I might have finished my next sub-mission\'
